Going the extra mile...

I was reminded a couple of times recently that homemade cards have more possibilities for extra touches than your less personal shop-bought cards. One of things that makes them really special is adding a bit of decoration to the inside of your card, to the back, and to the envelope. I did this by accident recently on my celebration cards.

Here's the outside:

And as I had a little chick shape left over (cut from the bird builder punch), I decided to stick it on the inside and stamp another greeting:

I often stamp a little something from my Creatively Yours stamp set for the back.

I admit that I haven't often remembered to embellish the envelope, but why not, it's no effort while your stamps and inks are out?
